ADJUSTMENTS.
Memphis Theater.

The Gladiator" was given mt the matt
nee yesterday afternoon and again last
night, which closed the engagement of Mr..
Downing and supporting company. The
engagement, which dramatically was a
pronounced success, would have been
equally so financially had il not been for
the Illness of Mr.. Downing, which pre-
vented his appearance on the stage as
Spartacus on the opening night, when an
inferior attraction, "lngomar," had TO DO
substituted, with, however, Mr.. Downing
in the title role. The Gladiator" is pro-
duced with elaborate scenery and costum-
ing, and the clash, din and glamour OF
horrid war seems music 10 the cans Of the
audience, as rounds of tremendous
applause followed each realistic COM
bat The stage Manager, MIR. Dubois,
deserves praise for the manner in
which no handled the Memphis
contingent in the army Of the Roman con-
sui, and also in the army OF the Thracians.
Several OF them resemblcd not the muscu-
lar gladiators in form. but bore close re-
scmblancc 10 Falstair soldiers, with whom
lac declined TO mart Ii through Coventry,
but they stood up manfully, and with
Sparlacus made Rome howl for time
MIR. Downing and company will open at
Greenville, Miss, tomorrow night, and
will take in Baton Rouge, La, en- route 10
New Orleans, where they will open in
The Gladiator next Monday evening.

The Sad Condition OF a Well Known
Young Man.


AL Reeves, n well known young man, is
confined in the county Jail as a lunatic.
The case is a sad one. Reeves is de-
mented on the subject Of religion. lie

and Robinson's soda and mineral water
departments. He was employed as bar
keeper on the steamer Benton when his
mind failed. lie became very violent
and had to be confined. lie was
sent to Jail on the arrival OF the boat in
Memphis, but became quiet ia few days
and was released. lie was at large only n
day or two when Il became necessary 10
confine him again. He has friends who
are anxious 10 have him cared for, and
they will probably do everything possible
10 alleviate his condition.

G. H. Todd, the colt winning the Derby
at Chicago last Saturday, was bred by
Theodore Winters at the Rancho del Rio
and was sold at his annual yearling sale to
Mr.. Harvey for $500, and later on the
youngster was transferred to Garland &
Goldsmith for mixed consideration. in
which were counted some training services
When Garland & Goldsmith resolved ia
send Beaconsfeld to the East they were
puzzled what to do with Todd, who was
then understood and had shown no great
form. Consequently he was put M al
auction at the Bay District track and was
bought by Dan Mccarthy for 81, 275. The
colt was admirably bred being by Joe
Hooker, dam Rosa B., she tracing back tc
Diophantus, a winner Of the $1,000. tbs
strains thus combining the Eclipse and
Norfolk blood with grand old English
crosses. Todd showed such good speed
last season and this spring at the Blood.

Az Atlanta (Ga.) paper says: "There
is sneaking notion in these parts that the
captured flags are where they ought to be.
They belong to the nation, and, as the
South is definite part of the nation, it
believes that the captured flags should be
preserved in the national archives" So,
then, Dir. Cleyeland's solid South thinks
he was too previous with his Cancellation
order. The comment of the Chicago
Times is that the South is an Indefinite
part of the nation, just as are the East and
West and North indefinite parts Of the
Union And it objects to the "sneaking
notion" phrase also, because the thought
of the quotation is the only notion of the
battle-hag matter that is at all defensible.
1t may dawn upon the Democratic party
some day that this country of ours is a
common heritage, and that It's archives
are held and should be kept in common.

KEEP it in view that whoever-no mat

opposed TO the system or stupidity ignor-

fortified it by law; it is entitled to and
must have fair, full and impartial trial.
Whoever attempts to prevent it is a pub
